Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation

Ghost immobilisers are a recent technological advancement in security for vehicles. They are revolutionary as they safeguard your vehicle from key-cloning and hacking.


The system uses an exclusive disarm sequence that requires the correct pin code to begin your vehicle. This is done by pressing the buttons on your steering wheel or dashboard.

TASSA Approved

The new TASSA verified Ghost-II CAN immobiliser from Autowatch is a revolutionary device designed to tackle the latest car crime trends, including key hacking and cloning. This innovative system connects directly to the onboard CAN network of your vehicle, preventing it from being turned on or driven without the right code. The system is undetectable, and does not make use of radio frequencies or key fobs. Instead, ghost immobiliser installation allows you create a unique sequence of PINs with buttons on your dashboard or the steering wheel, which you can modify at any point. The PIN can be up to 20 presses long to ensure maximum security. A secure emergency code is also included.

The system communicates with the vehicle's CAN data network to identify the moment a particular PIN has been entered. This then sends a signal to the vehicle which disables the ignition and engine and shuts down critical components such as the starter motor and the fuel pump. The system also has a 'valet mode', that allows you to turn off the system and stop your car from being driven by valets or service centre personnel who do not have the correct key.

The Ghost device is unlike conventional immobilisers, which can be deactivated with professional diagnostic tools. It uses the onboard network to communicate with ECUs and cannot be tampered. It's a sealed unit, so it is impossible to access the circuits, which makes it nearly impossible for thieves to detect the distinctive clicking noise that traditional immobiliser relays make.

This technology is not vulnerable to jamming tools utilized by high-tech thieves and is not detected by other diagnostic tool since it uses the CAN data networks. This makes it a great anti-theft solution for any modern car.

After you've booked your TASSA approved ghost 2 immobiliser installation we'll set up a date and time to visit your home or business to complete the installation. We will walk you through the entire demonstration with you, and give you the owner's manual, emergency cards, two Autowatch window stickers, and a installation certificate.

Insurance Approved

The Ghost is a security tool installed aftermarket that protects against the types of thieves who are interested in stealing a vehicle. It prevents your engine from starting until certain buttons are pressed. The sequence is only understood by you, therefore in the event that your vehicle is stolen thieves, they will not be able to start it and will likely leave the vehicle in peace for fear of being caught. Ghosts can be found in a silent mode that turns off the vehicle when not in use. It can be turned off by pressing the button.

The system is TASSA (Tracker and Aftermarket security systems association) insurance-approved, which means it will be recognized by a few insurance companies as an additional security measure on your vehicle. It can be used in conjunction with other Thatcham-approved security measures, such as trackers, to help prevent your vehicle from being stolen. This will give you additional assurance.

The system also communicates with the ECU of your vehicle through the CAN data loop which is inaudible to diagnostic tools. This means that a burglar can't simply insert a new key or change the ECU to get around the Ghost. The system will only begin to start your car by entering the correct pin code. This unique PIN code is only known by you and can be changed at any time.

The Ghost is a highly discrete immobiliser that can be added to the majority of vehicles without wiring or installing aftermarket key fobs. It is directly linked to the vehicle's CAN data network and a PIN code can be programmed by pressing the buttons on the dashboard and steering wheel. This code will then prevent the vehicle from starting unless the correct sequence is chosen first. In the event that the code is misinterpreted there are emergency codes that can be reset via your mobile phone. There is also an application that works on iOS and Android to eliminate the requirement of entering pins every time, providing more security.

The shrewd

An immobiliser system, unlike a GPS tracker, which only aids you locate your car after it's been stolen, stops the vehicle from ever being stolen in the first place. This is achieved by preventing the engine from starting until the correct code is received via the key fob or an app that is downloaded onto the smartphone. This is the best method to prevent wheel jacking and other types of theft as the thief has no choice but to leave your car in peace or risk being arrested.

The ghost immobiliser is a tiny weatherproof device that is fitted into the wiring harness inside your vehicle. It is connected to the CAN data network and is hidden away so thieves can't detect it or disable it with simple wire cutting. It also has a service mode which can be turned on so that your garage can work on your vehicle, without needing to know the passcode for it to start.

Once the device has been installed in your vehicle, it is able to be disarmed and armed using an app on your smartphone. You can change the PIN code at any time you wish to ensure that you are the only one who has access to your car. This is useful in case you're planning to sell your car in the future as it can increase its potential resale value.

The Ghost immobiliser has another great feature: it is discreet and doesn't leave any marks on the interior car's body which makes it a great addition to any car. It is easy to install, it's quiet and won't disrupt any other systems in your car.

A subtle immobiliser can enhance the look and feel your car. This is particularly beneficial for those who use their vehicles to transport valuable objects, since it will stop potential thieves. A ghost immobiliser will work alongside any other anti-theft device, such as a tracker to provide unrivalled security for your vehicle.

Low Maintenance

Ghost immobilisers work by connecting directly to the CAN data network. They are almost invisible, since they don't utilize LED indicators or other key fobs. It also doesn't emit radio signals and is completely silent so that thieves can't detect it working. The device can be put in a variety of places (even under floor mats), and is a great choice for those who want to secure their vehicle, without sacrificing its appearance.

This device blocks your car from starting until you enter the password that is unique to you. This is accomplished by a combination of buttons on your dashboard and steering wheel in a particular sequence. This makes it impossible for thieves to duplicate or hack into your system, and it will stop them from starting your vehicle.

The Ghost will recognize this attempt to boost the signal and stop your vehicle from starting until the proper disarming code is entered. Contrary to other security systems that can be activated through entering the wrong code and the Ghost will keep preventing your car from starting until you input the correct passcode.

The Ghost remains in service mode until you put it back into service mode which is activated by pressing the same combination of buttons as you did to arm it, (this is possible when you visit your dealer to perform maintenance or warranty work). This is to ensure that it's not removed by unauthorised people and then rearmed and returned to service mode if required.

It is also possible to transfer your Ghost to a different vehicle if you move throughout the time of ownership, as long as the new vehicle is compatible. The latest Ghost also comes with QR finger print stickers that connect to the International Security Register, meaning that if your Ghost is ever taken for parts, it can be traced back to you and your vehicle. This could deter thieves from stealing vehicles with Ghost as they are aware that they are safe and are less likely to be caught and convicted.
